Description

Cut apart sputter target and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to engage a plurality of target structures and cut apart sputter target, relate in particular to the sputter target of cutting apart being suitable for when being formed by oxide semiconductor at target structure.
Background technology
In recent years, sputtering method is used a lot when the various electronic components such as manufacturing information machine, AV machine, family's electrical article, for example, in the display unit of liquid crystal indicator etc., the semiconductor subassembly of thin film transistor (being called for short TFT) etc. forms by sputtering method exactly.Because sputtering method is very effectively will to form the film of transparent electrode layer etc., the method for making forming with big area, high precision.
Yet, in nearest semiconductor subassembly, for the oxide semiconductor with IGZO (In-Ga-Zn-O) representative replaces amorphous silicon (amorphous silicon), very gazed at.So, relate to this oxide semiconductor, be also put into and utilize sputtering method to carry out in planning of oxide semiconductor thin-film film forming.Yet the sputter target of the oxide semiconductor using during sputter, because its material is pottery, therefore be difficult to form large-area target with a slice target structure.Therefore, prepare the oxide semiconductor target member that multi-disc has certain degree size, and engage having on the supporting plate of desired area, to manufacture large-area oxide semiconductor sputter target (for example, with reference to patent documentation 1).
The supporting plate of this sputter target, is used supporting plate made of copper conventionally, described supporting plate and target structure engage the eutectic solder that uses thermal conduction good, for example metal of In system.For example, when manufacturing big area, tabular oxide semiconductor sputter target, prepare large-area copper supporting plate, this supporting plate surface is divided into a plurality of regions, prepare the oxide semiconductor target member that multi-disc meets described region area.So, on supporting plate, configure a plurality of target structures, by In, be or Sn is the eutectic solder of metal that whole target structures is engaged on supporting plate.During joint, consider the thermal expansion difference of Cu and oxide semiconductor, between the target structure of adjacency, can form the mode in 0.1mm to 1.0mm gap when the room temperature, adjust configuration.
Use the sputter target of cutting apart so a plurality of oxide semiconductor target members joints being obtained, and while making forming thin film form semiconductor subassembly by sputter, in sputter is processed, from the gap between target structure, make the constituent material Cu of supporting plate also by sputter, have what is called to sneak into the doubt of the problem in the oxide semiconductor thin-film of formation.Though the Cu in film only has the mixed volume of several ppm degree, but the impact on oxide semiconductor is very big, for example, electric field effect movability (field-effect mobility) in TFT component characteristic, at the formed semiconductor subassembly of interstitial site (sneaking into the film of Cu) being equivalent between target structure, compare with the semiconductor subassembly of other parts, have the tendency of step-down, ON/OFF is than also there being the tendency of step-down.Improper phenomenon like this, is scolded that requirement at present improves technology rapidly into the main stopping cause that big areaization is inclined in the past.Moreover, so cut apart the problem of sputter target, even during the material beyond target structure is oxide semiconductor, also there is the possibility that produces same improper phenomenon, in order to promote the big area of sputter target, be the essential problem solving.

Summary of the invention
[problem that invention wish solves]
The present invention is the person of one-tenth under as the background of above thing, take and provide a kind of sputter target of cutting apart as object, for thering is large-area sputter target, by a plurality of target structures being engaged to the sputter target of cutting apart obtaining, while forming film via sputter, can effectively prevent that the constituent material of supporting plate from sneaking in the film of film forming.
[solving the means of problem]
In order to solve described problem, of the present invention being characterized as on supporting plate, engages by eutectic solder cutting apart in sputter target that a plurality of target structures form, along formed gap between the target structure engaging, protective is set on supporting plate.According to the present invention, formed gap between the target structure engaging on supporting plate, does not expose supporting plate surface, and the structured material that can effectively prevent supporting plate is by sputter.
Protective in the present invention, for referring to cover the supporting plate surface person that between the target structure having engaged on supporting plate, formed gap location exposes, refers to have to make that the film of film forming is had to dysgenic material, can't help the actor of gap generation when sputter.As protective so, on supporting plate surface, configure banded protection member, or by becoming the material of protective, by methods such as coating, plating, sputters, arrange, to be oxidized the surface formation oxide film thereon of supporting plate itself and to arrange.Especially, in the present invention, protective is that to configure banded protection member be good.
As the material of protective like this, even if sneak in the film of film forming, can not invest dysgenic material yet, for example, can use in the component that forms target structure all or part of, the alloy that contains these elements or oxide compound etc.
As other material person, for suppressing the material of the sputter phenomenon of inside, gap when the sputter, for example, can use the material that its volume resistance is larger than target structure, namely using high resistance material as protective again.Using high resistance material like this, when protective is used, the volume specific resistance of high resistance material (Ω cm) be take the material of the 10 times of above values of volume specific resistance with target structure as good.
Again, relate to the material of described protective, the chemical constitution of this material is substantially different person with the chemical constitution of the eutectic solder using in order to engage with supporting plate.For example, using indium metal, when eutectic solder is used, protective now refers to the meaning that is not indium metal.Again, the gap between target structure, though there is the situation of the indium metal of residual eutectic solder, when the residual indium of gap solidifies during this time, its surface can oxidation.The indium metal of the eutectic solder using in so engaging curing situation in gap, on described indium surface owing to being difficult to form uniform oxide film, therefore can not bring into play the effect same with high resistance material as described protective of the present invention.
The sputter target of cutting apart in the present invention is usingd tabular, cylindric person as object.Tabular sputter target is on tabular supporting plate, and after having a plurality of tabular target structure planar configuration of square face, bonder is as object.Again, sputter target cylindraceous is on cylindric supporting plate, a plurality of cylindrical target members (hollow circuit cylinder) are penetrated, cylinder axis direction at cylindric supporting plate is configured to multistage shape and bonder, or, the bending target structure that hollow circuit cylinder is longitudinally cut off along cylinder axis direction, toward the outer side of cylindric supporting plate, a plurality of side by side and be object through bonder at circumferential direction.This sputter target of cutting apart tabular or cylindraceous is used a lot in large-area sputtering apparatus.Again, though the present invention is usingd shape tabular, cylindraceous as object, do not hinder the application of cutting apart sputter target to other shapes, relevant target structure does not limit shape for this reason.Therefore, relate to the composition of target structure, also can be suitable for the metals such as the oxide semiconductors such as IGZO or ZTO or transparency electrode (ITO) or Al, the composition aspect of target structure is not restriction also.
Protective in the present invention is preferably Zn, Ti, any tinsel of Sn, or contains any above tinsel in more than 80 quality % Zn, Ti, Sn, or ceramic sheet or polymer sheets.So long as so tinsel or ceramic sheet, with In system or Sn be that the reactivity of eutectic solder of metal is low, the situation of oxide semiconductor film forming, even if sneak in the oxide semiconductor thin-film of film forming micro-ly, with Cu comparison, on the impact of TFT component characteristic, also can tail off.
Because polymer sheets is high resistance material, therefore when sputter, can suppress sputter phenomenon in the gap between target structure, can prevent the detrimentally affect to the film of film forming again.As ceramic sheet person, the thin slice that can use aluminum oxide or silicon oxide to be.As the material person of polymer sheets in the present invention, can enumerate: the synthetic resins materials such as phenol resins, U.S. resistance to ware (trimeric cyanamide) resin, epoxy resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, ethylene chloride resin, polyethylene, polypropylene; Or polyethylene, poly-ethylene chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene etc. are general with plastic material; Polyvinyl acetate (PVA), ABS resin, AS resin, acrylic resin etc. are accurate general with plastic material etc.Moreover, also can use the engineering plastics such as polyoxymethylene, polycarbonate, upgrading polyphenylene ether (PPE), polybutyl terapthalate; Or the super engineering plastics such as poly-aryl acid esters (Polyarylate), polysulfones, polyphenylene sulfide, polyether-ether-ketone, polyimide resin, fluoroplast.Especially, polyimide resin etc. is also banded material, because thermotolerance, insulativity are also high, therefore for being applicable to present inventor.
Tinsel or ceramic sheet or the thickness of polymer sheets is preferably 0.0001mm to 1.0mm.Tinsel or the width of ceramic sheet are preferably and the identical or width more than this in formed gap between target structure, and while considering workability etc., width is preferably 5.0mm to 20mm.Again, on supporting plate, configure arbitrary tinsel of Zn, Ti, Sn, or any the above Alloy Foil that contains more than 80 quality % Zn, Ti, Sn, or when ceramic sheet or polymer sheets, can use eutectic solder or electroconductibility two sides adhesive tape etc. to be pasted.
Protective in the present invention; be preferably to have by the 1st protection member of band shape the lamination structure with the 2nd protection member of band shape; when lamination has the structure of so banded protection member; can easily manufacture the sputter target of cutting apart that the present invention is correlated with, can coordinate the material of target structure or supporting plate suitably to select the 1st protection member and the 2nd to protect the material of member.This 1st protection member protects the band widish of member to equate with the 2nd, also can be different.Again, the protective of this lamination structure, for making the 1st protection member protect member at the state of supporting plate side in target structure side, the 2nd, along formed gap configuration between the target structure engaging.
